Tampa Bay Buccaneers PK Nate Kaeding (groin) has decided to retire from professional football after suffering a groin injury a few days ago. "It's not like I can switch the way I kick, or change this way, or use a different muscle," Kaeding said. "Especially for me, and the way I kick, that's the main lever in the kicking motion. It's impossible to avoid it and I've got these chronic issues."

The Carolina Panthers worked out free-agent PKs Graham Gano (Redskins) and Nate Kaeding (Chargers) Tuesday, Nov. 20. Interim general manager Brandon Beane said both kicked well, but the team decided to sign Gano to a two-year deal.
